[edit] Cover

John Cooper explained the story behind the album cover in an interview:

John Cooper: "Yeah, it's just basically that we're trying to depict the image of faith and fear colliding. That whole struggle of wanting to live your life as a believer in a world that's bombarding you with fear and violence and hate everyday. That's just basically the biggest thing, honestly. With evil and wings...it mainly just looks cool! *laughs* But this was the idea behind it. And then the mannequin at first, I just thought really looks cool, but it does have the image of a lifeless body and then there's a war going on." ^[3]
